24. The graph of the rational function $f(x) = \frac{2}{x+4}$ does not intersect the x-axis. Therefore, the equation $\frac{2}{x+4} = 0$ has A. a real root of -4 B. a real root of 0 C. a real root of 2 D. No real roots.

Step 1
The graph of the rational function f(x) = (x+4)/2 does not intersect the x-axis. This means that there are no points on the graph where the y-coordinate is equal to 0. In other words, there are no values of x for which f(x) = 0. Show more…
